Woman

You gotta be fortunate

You gotta be lucky now

I was just sitting here

Thinking good and bad

But I'm the kinda woman

That was built to last

They tried erasing me

They couldn't wipe out my past

To save my child

I'd rather go hungry

I got all of Ethiopia

Inside of me

And my blood flows

Through every man

In this godless land that delivered me

I've cried so many tears even the blind can see

This is a woman's world

This is my world

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

That can't deliver love

In a man's world

I've born and I've bread

I've cleaned and I've fed

And for my healing wits

I've been called a witch

I've crackled in the fire

And been called a liar

Died so many times

I'm only just coming to life

(Woman)

This is a woman's world

This is my world

(Woman)

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl

(Woman)

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

(Woman)

That can't deliver love

To a man's world

...

And my blood flows

Through every man and every child

In this godless land that delivered me

I cried so many tears, even the blind can see

(Woman)

This is a woman's world

This is my world

(Woman)

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl

(Woman)

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

(Woman)

That can't deliver love

In a man's world

(Woman)

Oh, this is a woman's world

Woman
